Most people throughout history have found it hard to explore and discover their deepest desires and fantasies. In modern times, with changing social norms and the growing acceptance of sexuality and the exploration in the field of sex, the advancement and growing acceptance of sex toys, it was inevitable that adult sex dolls (also, but lesser, known as a dutch wife) would take the world by storm.

It's a fact that the meaning of spiritual, sexual and emotional satisfaction and pleasure has reformed completely. Now that people have realized the importance of assessing themselves and pursuing their sexual desires. It is because of these reasons more and more men and women are turning to realistic sex dolls and even prefer to spend time with a realistic sex doll than a real woman because it provides them with better satisfaction and pleasure both physically, emotionally and mentally.

Therefore, it was no surprise that there’s been an increase in the demand for human love dolls. However, it is far from enough to just buy a quality doll, and since it is quite a big investment, you must understand how long roughly a doll could last and how to maintain, prevent and maybe even extend your sex doll’s lifespan. So, how long does a lifelike TPE doll last?

Please note that this is general information and that there are no specific instructions or defined specific timeframe that your doll will last. Though, if you understand and make the right decision concerning the factors we are going to discuss in this article, such as cleaning your doll, the material makeup of your doll, and your sex doll’s storage conditions, there will be a direct and correlating impact on the life span of your adult sex doll.

One of the main factors that contribute toward the lifespan of your sex doll is your frequency of use of the doll, not just for sexual activities but even when used for companionship.

If you use your love doll for long periods of time, various parts of the doll may wear out quickly this could broadly range from your doll’s internal skeleton to her outer skin. Uses could include various tempos of sexual acts to simply moving your sex doll around onto different surfaces and in different positions (for companionship purposes for example).

The more the you use your doll, the faster it wears out. To combat this issue, some models come with repair kits or replacement genitals. However, eventually things will get to a stage where things just can't be repaired. With heavy usage you probably have a few good years and with low to regular use you'll have even longer, so it's still a good buy. Besides, who knows what new technologies and dolls will be available in three or four years.

If your doll is not made of quality TPE or silicone materials, some parts of your doll may even fall off. This is why some dolls are detachable or have replaceable parts.

Speaking of TPE and silicone sex dolls, the material composition of your love doll is another major factor that influences your sex doll’s overall lifespan. Nowadays quality sex dolls are mainly made of two materials, silicone and TPE material. Whereby, the more expensive sex dolls are usually made from silicone.

Throughout the adult sex doll market, in most cases there are most commonly TPE sex dolls and silicone sex dolls available. This is because these materials carry the most optimal characteristic to replicate the real human body and, especially, skin. Both materials are extremely versatile and mouldable. TPE dolls and silicone dolls are both durable and firm yet soft. There are little to no other materials on the market, at this price point, that can truly match up to TPE and silicone when it comes to the production of sex toys, especially our beloved pocket pussies, sex doll torsos and full sized sex dolls.

Though, the formula of raw materials used to make sex dolls slightly varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, which will also affect the lifespan of your adult doll. Although silicone and TPE are relatively expensive materials, TPE sex dolls and silicone dolls are more widely available than not as they are more durable and versatile than sex dolls made of other materials. Thus, when choosing a doll for yourself, I strongly recommend choosing silicone dolls or TPE dolls, as these dolls will more likely than not have the longest lifespans.

The material/fabric of the clothes you choose to dress your doll in also makes a huge difference.

If you choose to dress your doll in inferior quality clothing made of inferior materials, not only will these articles of clothing wear out quickly but these types of clothing may even wear out your love doll faster than expected.

On the other hand, if you choose to dress up your doll in high quality materials, say silk for example, these materials are less likely to wear down the skin of your doll or leave stains behind.

How long have you had your TPE dolls for? A well-maintained TPE doll can last anywhere from 2 to 5 yrs. A silicone doll can last indefinitely, but the average is usually 10 yrs. This all depends on how rough or gentle your are with your sex dolls and how much maintenance, care and upkeep your provide. 

Fun Fact: There is a silicone doll that is currently 12 years old and still going strong!
